I've used swap plain partitions on zfs-rooted machines as well as multi-disk zfs swap, both to good effect.
Even if secondary storage (SSD) can never be as fast as primary (RAM), it'll should allow the job to proceed when the batch process peaks its memory utilisation. Since it's batch processing, the swap delay accrued might not even matter that much. I think the OP's plan is a sensible design compromise and see no problems with giving it a shot. If the swap partition ends up being on ZFS, it'll garner the additional benefit of being able to be periodically scrubbed to check for degradation of the SSD (these only accommodate a finite number of write cycles, but most modern ones have write leveling to distribute the exercise across the whole device). --jake _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
